Shooting Fight Club: Behind the Scenes with David Fincher

Fight Club is one of the films that did poorly at the box office in theaters (especially in North America) but became cult among ‘us’, the people who were lucky enough to watch it in theaters, and is now considered one of the best David Fincher’s filmsand one of the best films that came out in the last decade of the XXth century.

Fortunately for us, b-roll and rare footage vigilante TheSheikh1976has recently shared new videos about the pre-production of the movie. In the two videos below, you will see how Fincher breaks down a scene with his team [the infamous projectionist scene, where Norton breaks the fourth wall and Pitt shows the cigarette burns], how the car crash scene, the inner cave scene, and many more were shot.

I spend around 30h per week working on mentorless.com to find articles that will interest all of us, write the newsletter and maintain the site (that would need much more of my time to improve, I agree). A lot of us can’t donate, but if you can, and feel this website deserves your help, any amount will make a difference.
